Let us go
This phrase is an invitation to action, urging believers to make a conscious decision to move forward in their faith journey. The Greek word used here is "ἐξερχώμεθα" (exerchometha), which implies a deliberate departure or going out. This reflects the call to leave behind the old ways and comforts of the world, much like the Israelites leaving Egypt, and to embrace a new life in Christ. It is a call to active participation in the Christian faith, not merely a passive belief.

to Him
The focus of this movement is towards Christ. The Greek "πρὸς αὐτόν" (pros auton) indicates a direction or orientation towards Jesus. This signifies a personal relationship and communion with Christ, emphasizing that our journey is not just about leaving something behind but moving towards someone—our Savior. It is a reminder that the Christian life is centered on Christ, and our ultimate goal is to be with Him.

outside the camp
This phrase has rich historical and theological significance. In the context of the Israelites, the camp was a place of safety and community, but also of ritual and tradition. To go "outside the camp" (Greek: "ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς," exo tes paremboles) meant to leave behind the established religious system and societal norms. For early Christians, this was a call to separate from the old covenant and embrace the new covenant in Christ, even if it meant facing rejection and persecution. It is a call to be set apart, to live a life that may be counter-cultural and challenging.

bearing His reproach
The Greek word for "reproach" is "ὀνειδισμὸν" (oneidismon), which means disgrace or insult. This phrase acknowledges the cost of discipleship. Just as Christ suffered outside the city gates, believers are called to endure shame and persecution for His sake. It is a reminder of the suffering that comes with following Jesus, but also of the honor in sharing in His sufferings. This is a call to embrace the cross, understanding that true discipleship involves sacrifice and sometimes enduring the scorn of the world.

(13) The suffering "without the gate" was a symbol of His rejection by the Jews. All who would be His must share the reproach which came upon Him, who was cast out by His people and crucified (Hebrews 11:26): they also must go forth "without the camp," forsaking the company of His foes. Each one must for himself make choice either of the synagogue or of the church of Christ; between the two there can be no fellowship.

Verse 13. - Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. By a happy turn of thought Christ's having suffered without the gate is viewed as representing his exclusion from the Jewish Church and polity, outside which we are now to follow him, though we with him be reproached by the Jews as outcasts. There may be a tacit reference, such as Bengel sees in the word φέροντες, to our bearing our cross after him.
